Timeline of Trudie Hall's disappearance

July 27, 2010 – Hall travels from Nantucket to Hyannis. She speaks to her mother, Vivienne Walker, on the telephone later in the day.

July 28 – Walker tries to contact her daughter by text and telephone repeatedly but gets no response. Ram Rimal, a man whom Hall had married in 2009 and whom she had stayed with in separate rooms at a West Yarmouth hotel, contacts Walker about Hall's overnight disappearance. Walker files missing person reports with the police in Barnstable, Yarmouth and Nantucket.

July 30 – The police find a rented 2009 Toyota Avalon in the commuter lot at Exit 6 on Route 6 in West Barnstable that Hall had rented in Hyannis the day before she disappeared. Investigators find blood and at least one bullet casing in the car. A police helicopter flies over an area near Independence Drive in Hyannis and officers search woods in the area.

Aug. 4 and 5 – The police search the home of Quoizel and Donna Wilson on Great Marsh Road in Centerville. They seize a large SUV, a motorcycle and other items in brown paper bags used to collect evidence. Investigators question Quoizel Wilson at the Barnstable police station for several hours but he leaves on his own. Sources with knowledge of the investigation say Quoizel Wilson is the father of Hall's unborn child.

Aug. 9 – The police search an area along power lines near Oak Street in Centerville.

Aug. 1 – Marriage licenses uncovered by the Cape Cod Times reveal that Hall married two men in 2009, Ram Rimal and Doucet McDowe. No records showing that she divorced either man are found.

Aug. 13 – The police search an area near Route 149 and Service Road east of Exit 5 off Route 6 in connection with the case.

Sept. 9 – Investigators return the SUV and motorcycle taken from the Wilsons' home.

Sept. 19 – Family and friends of Trudie Hall's family hold a “Service of Community” at the Unitarian Church on Nantucket.

Nov. 10 – Hall's family offers a $15,000 reward for any information on where she is or what happened to her.

Dec. 14 – The due date for the birth of Hall's baby.

Jan. 15, 2011 – Hall's 24th birthday.

May 2011 – Vivienne Walker hires a private investigator.

April 20, 2012 – Human bones discovered in remote area off Hayway Road in East Falmouth.

HYANNIS – Human bones found in the woods of East Falmouth last week have been identified as the remains of Trudie Hall, the pregnant Nantucket woman last seen almost two years ago, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation.

The 23-year-old woman disappeared in July 2010 after traveling from the island to Hyannis.

Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe has scheduled a press conference related to the bones for Tuesday morning at the Barnstable police station.

“We’ll be discussing the findings and making a request of the public,” O’Keefe said today. He declined to comment on whether the human remains found are Hall.

On Friday police found human remains in a wooded area between 242 and 334 Hayway Road in East Falmouth. The isolated area is close to a water tower and adjacent to Falmouth Country Club and Frances A. Crane Wildlife Management Area.

When she disappeared on July 27, 2010, Hall was four months pregnant with the child of a married man with a criminal record, whom the police questioned and whose home was extensively searched after her disappearance. The young Jamaican woman was married to two other men at the time, according to documents obtained by the Times, an arrangement that sources and her roommate said was part of a fraud to help the men secure their citizenship.

A day after she was reported missing police found a car Hall had rented in Hyannis at a commuter lot in West Barnstable with blood, bullet casings and other evidence inside that sources said pointed to foul play. The commuter lot is about 15 miles from the woods in Falmouth where sources said her bones were found Friday.

Quoizel Wilson, who sources say is the father of the child Hall was carrying, was questioned for several hours at the Barnstable police station shortly after Hall’s disappearance but later walked out of the building to a waiting cab.

Wilson is a former Nantucket resident, originally from Mississippi. Until 2008 he worked as a manager for the Nantucket Regional Transit Authority.

In November 2008, a Nantucket grand jury indicted him for stealing more than $8,000 from fare boxes on Nantucket. The indictment followed an investigation by the state Attorney General’s Office that began in March 2008, when an island transportation official became suspicious about money missing from bus fare boxes.

During Wilson’s arrest in November 2008, the police found a loaded handgun in his unlocked car parked in his driveway, and he was charged with improper storage of a firearm.

In June 2009, he pleaded guilty to all charges in the case and received a two-year suspended sentence. He was required to pay back the $8,000 and a $500 fine for the firearm charge.

Wilson, 33, has not spoken publicly about why police searched his home at 259 Great Marsh Road in Centerville a week after Hall’s disappearance, seizing a sport utility vehicle, motorcycle and other evidence. The evidence was later returned and Wilson has not been charged in connection with Hall’s disappearance.

“This is obviously a tragic ending to what has been described as the disappearance of Ms. Hall,” Wilson’s attorney, Robert Galibois, said today. “Mr. Wilson gave a lengthy interview early on in this matter. His property was searched, seized and then returned. He has remained in the area this entire time and steadfastly maintains his denial of any wrongdoing.”

Investigators said little publicly about the investigation, and intensive searches of woods in Barnstable and surrounding areas in the days and weeks after her disappearance turned up nothing that police or O’Keefe would discuss officially. O’Keefe steadfastly refused to label the case a murder even after Hall’s mother, Vivienne Walker, said she believed her daughter was dead.

Hall, whom Walker described as a “young, beautiful woman,” moved from Jamaica to Nantucket at age 13. She was a 2006 Nantucket High School graduate and former soccer player for the Nantucket Whalers.

A year after her daughter disappeared, Walker increased a reward for information leading to the arrest of anyone responsible for Hall’s death from $15,000 to $20,000.

As of this afternoon Walker was still waiting to hear from police about a connection between the bones found in Falmouth and her daughter’s disappearance, she said.
